Who We Are
Our Journey
Tikvah Alive Uganda was born out of a profound desire to bring hope and positive change to vulnerable children, youth, and women in Wakiso District and across Uganda. Our founder, Elizabeth Nyamwanda, experienced the harsh realities of life as an orphan and was raised by her grandmother in Asinge Village, Tororo District. Despite the hardships she faced, Elizabeth found solace and strength in her faith, learning to love and serve God from a young age. Her experiences of overcoming adversity inspired her to create a children’s ministry dedicated to supporting other children in similar situations.
